Nicholas Leonicus Thomaeus (variously Niccolò Leonico Tomeo, Nikollë Leonik Tomeu, Leonik Tomeu; 1456-1531) was an Albanian-born scholar and professor of philosophy at the University of Padua for 30 years.
Thomaeus was born in Durrës, Albania in an Albanian origin family. At the University of Padua he achieved fame as the first professor to teach Aristotle in the original language, and had among his students a young Nicholas Copernicus. He was praised by Erasmus of Rotterdam for his polymath knowledge.
